Dr. Jayne Greenberg has spent a career building healthier futures for young people — as a health and physical education executive, curriculum developer, author, and organizational leader. Her résumé includes developing Sports Science curriculums, moderating a Congressional briefing, coordinating Olympic Committee education programs, and serving as an advisor to President Obama's Council for Fitness, Sport and Nutrition.

But long before any of that, Jayne was a young teacher figuring out how to make her first paycheck work for her future. In this episode, she trades the whistle for a wallet and joins me to talk about the habits, mistakes, and mindsets that shaped her financial life — and what she believes it takes to raise girls who are truly self-sufficient.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Jayne's path into physical education began, and the career highlights that followed

• The money lessons (and money silence) she grew up with

• The people who most shaped how she thinks about money

• A $50-a-paycheck decision, made at the very start of her teaching career, that changed everything

• A costly early investing mistake — and the homework she wishes she'd done first

• Practical advice for anyone starting out or managing on a modest budget

• The real link between financial well-being and overall well-being

• What Jayne sees as the biggest threat to youth health today, in the U.S. and globally

• Her advice for anyone raising kids in today's world
